  • Abstract
    The Robbins-Monro algorithm under arbitrary deterministic disturbances is studied and necessary and sufficient conditions on the noise sequence are obtained for convergence of the algorithm. We introduce a notion of persistently disturbing noise sequences, and show that it characterises convergence of the algorithm under each fixed noise sequence. The results obtained are stronger than previous conditions and the proof techniques are simpler, involving only basic notions of convergence
